“As governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, now Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ running mate, signed a bill into law requiring school districts to place tampons and pads in girls’ bathrooms in schools serving grades 4-12.

The law required tampons to be placed in all school bathrooms, including the boys’ room.

Tim Walz is the quintessential suburban dad you don’t mind sharing a beer with and discussing sports, current events, or even politics.

With his white hair, bald pate, beer belly and jovial expression, you would expect him to be a postal worker, auto mechanic or a baker, instead of a politician.

Republicans are desperate to produce a credible attack line against such a pleasant character; how can you denigrate a gentleman with such an impressive Resume: former teacher, high school football coach, and 24 years of military service?

The best they can do is dub him “Tampon Tim” for signing a bill requiring schools to place free tampons and pads in all bathrooms, including boys’ bathrooms, for the convenience of trans students.

I applaud Walz for signing this bill into law, it demonstrates his empathy for all female students and especially those who may not have the financial resources to afford female sanitary products.

And it’s not a federal crime or a mortal sin for a tampon dispenser to be placed in a boys’ restroom. It’s an acknowledgement that there may be trans or binary students who use the boys’ restroom.

I’m voting for “Tampon Tim”, I can count on him to represent all Americans, including sexual, religious and racial minorities.
